HIGHER LEVY
FLOUR BOUGHT BY BAKERS
At the request of the New Zealand Master Bakers' and Pastrycooks Association the contribution: of bakers to the work of the Wheat Research Institute is to be increased as from January 1 from Ud to 2£d a ton on flour sold to bakers. This is .being done by increasing froni Is to Is Id \ ton the -evy made by the Wheat Committee on flour bought by bakers. An amendment gazetted last night to the Board of Trade (Wheat and Flour) Regulations, 1944, which authorises this increase, also revises a section of the principal regulations dealing with the wheatgrowers' compensation scheme. Hitherto it has been obligatory on every grower whose crop suffered damage from any of a number of causes specified to have his land occupied by the damagedF crop until the normal time of harvest if he wished to qualify for compensation. The amendment gives the wheat committee some discretionary - power, enabling it to permit a damaged crop to be ploughed under without being carried forward to harvest. The land may thus by agreement be put to other use without the grower being deprived of compensation.
